As Storm was heading out today I asked him where he was going and he said Benny's and asked me If I wanted to join him for the drive as it was a nice day. I was having a bit of cartoonist block ;-) and decided it was a good idea. I had yet to see Benny's store, I've known him for a couple of years now and have not had the chance. The only time I see Benny is at the EXPO or an event but we have e mailed back and fourth and he has carried some of my originals & comics in his store the past year so we have built up a bit of a friendship.
I like Benny! He always has a smile and a kind word and usually makes me laugh several times.
The store was impressive - as I expected it might be, knowing a bit about Benny. It amazes me to see some of these BONGS - calling them that is in fact an insult. THEY are works of ART! The detail that has gone into them, the work - I can only imagine the hours spent on some of the pieces. There were a few out of my budget- LOL - BUT If I had the money they would surly be an investment I'd like to make. I'd never use them! They are to me like Royal Daulton to my mother. I LOVE the ZOMBIE heads! I have had several people friend me on FB who are glass blowers/glass artists! I will admit I easily get distracted looking at the photos they post - I am amazed that they can do with glass that which I can't always do with a pencil!! I am looking forward to this years TY EXPO for the glass blowing!
Benny and Andrew and Robin were all incredibly helpful and answered my MANY questions from what's this? and what's that? What is this used for? Questions about painful penis tattoos and more -LOL. Andrew also took the time to explain what every bong I asked about was for. It truly is a learning experience, ONE if you are serious about your Cannibis you should know the different options and the best way to mediate. I had fun. I look forward to my next visit. I also have decided to see if I can draw a fish to add to Andrews very cool collection! ;-).
Benny's store HITZ IMPORTS and location >>> http://www.hitzimports.com/
I did pick up this incredibly little BLUE monkey bubbler. (Below) SUCH work in this little guy. Makes me smile. Oh ladies, Benny asked to carry some of my hand painted bags - coming soon to Hitz Imports.
We had such a good day we decided while the weather still co-operates we are going to a couple of more places I have really wanted to go to. Next Wednesday we are going to check out Vape On the Lake.
